Continuing Professional Development

Undertaking Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is essential to maintain professional standards and knowledge post qualification.

Our CPD scheme is at the core of our professional development services. It provides a framework for our members to structure and record their ongoing learning. It meets the FCA's CPD requirements for retail investment advisers and takes into consideration the FCA Knowledge and Ability requirements introduced on 1 October 2018 for the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD).
